Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the percentage increase in (1) revenue budget, and (2) capital budget, for Northern Ireland for 2023/24 compared to the percentage increases for government spending for England in each of those categories.

In the absence of an Executive, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland set the Northern Ireland Budget for 2023-24. The Written Ministerial Statement laid on 27 April sets out in detail the budget allocations for Northern Ireland departments, including both resource and capital allocations.

UK Government departmental spending plans are not split between spending for England and spending for the rest of the UK. The Northern Ireland Fiscal Council does, however, produce estimates as part of their assessment of the Northern Ireland Budget.

Funding for the Northern Ireland Executive is around 20 per cent higher per person than equivalent UK Government spending in other parts of the UK.
